The Indonesian national team doesn’t seem to want to rush into building an attack. They waited for the right momentum to launch a counter-attack.
It was very difficult for the Indonesian national team to build an attack against Iraq. Asnawi Mangkualam and his friends have to be really patient because they are constantly under pressure.
The Indonesian national team finally conceded in the 20th minute. Weak guarding and blunders by the defenders of the Garuda squad were a disaster for the Garuda squad.
Bashar Resan, who received the ball, easily put the ball into Nadeo Argawinata’s goal. Score 1-0 for Iraq!
Leading by one goal, Iraq continued to put pressure on the Indonesian National Team’s defense. As a result, Nadeo’s goal shook again in the 34th minute.
Starting from Amir Al-Ammari’s crossing, Jordi Amat, who tried to throw the ball, actually broke into his own goal. Iraq leads 2-0.
The Indonesian national team started to dare to attack after trailing 0-2. Now, the Red and White team is starting to play openly in order to reduce the gap.
Before halftime, Indonesia managed to close the distance. Shayne Pattynama was able to reduce the position after continuing Rafael Struick’s pass.
The 2-1 score lasted until halftime.
